2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s unverified primary-damage designation is “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial damage identified at the right rear bumper, tail lamp, quarter panel, and adjacent trunk edge. The right rear bumper cover is severely torn, displaced, and partially missing. Internal components are exposed, and a detached lower bumper section is visible. The right rear tail lamp assembly is also severely broken, with missing lens sections and exposed internal parts. The right rear quarter panel has pronounced creasing and deformation around the tail lamp and wheel-arch area. The right rear edge of the trunk lid is irregular, with an uneven gap next to the damaged lamp and quarter panel. The right side of the rear fascia is severely crushed and open, with detached bumper material and exposed components. Factory decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL with the Convenience Package. It is a four-door sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a 16-inch wheel specification. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. NHTSA records list several recalls for this make, model, and year. These include recalls involving front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and the rearview camera system. The seat-belt pretensioner campaigns include later replacement or expansion campaigns, so recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase. The available findings address exterior rear-end damage only and do not confirm the condition or operation of the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, restraint, camera, or other safety systems.
